Ultimately it’s the voters who stayed home this time who picked the driver, but they won’t admit it. I am a machine inspector, so I know the drop in the number of voters t my poll over two years ago and which party they were. Instead of term limits, vote them out and stop complaining. I’ve voted every year since 1979, so I get the privilege.

As far as 2016 goes, I can predict that Obama will continue to disappoint and cave in even worse than Clinton in his second term. The corporate state will love it.

It’s easily understandable. The corporate state loves war, so it can profit from more Pentagon waste! Welfare for the wealthy does not hold much profit with infrastructure. It’s harder to overrun costs, and everyone knows when it’s finished.

I agree. In fact the Swedes use the equivalent of mothermother, motherfather, fathermother, and fatherfather in place of maternal and paternal grandparents. “Meemaw” sounds like mothermother. My father’s mother insisted I call her the Polish equivalent of “Granny” (Babci)

LBJ knew how to work with this Congress and cross party lines. In fact, he did get the previous civil rights act in 1957 passed the Senate when he was majority leader. I will concede that he did not have one obstructionist party in the House at the time. The problem was the Senate and all the chairmen who were blocking the legislation.
